Rebounding is likely to be a big factor in this contest: Corvian Community has been crashing the boards this season, having averaged 35.5 rebounds per game.

Everything came up roses for Corvian Community against Queen's Grant when the teams last played back in February of 2024, as the squad secured a 79-52 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Queen's Grant's Garrett Morgan, who went 10-for-23 en route to 28 points along with five assists and four steals. Now that he won't be playing on Tuesday, will it be easier for Corvian Community to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
